I met Vicki Mote Bodewell, founder of Warm Biscuit Bedding Company, at BlogHer last July but it wasn't until I started wandering around her website that I realized what a great online store she had.

The story goes that her grandmother would say "It's time to crawl into your biscuit" when it was time for bed and that homey, comfortable, cozy metaphor is perfect for describing what Warm Biscuit Bedding Co. has going for it.

I don't know if you're already thinking about holiday gifts but if I had a child on my list I would start with Warm Biscuit because there's got to be something there that a kid would love, the fairy castle pictured below is just what I would have wanted for Christmas 30 years ago. Ballerina costumes, personalized lunchboxes, pinhole cameras, sleeping bags, art smocks--I'm going to run out of ink here before I could tell you everything that's there in the store.

Even if you're not shopping I found that they have some cute craft activities for holidays at the bottom of the home page. I've bookmarked the doll cradle craft in Del.icio.us and will be making that with Lillian for sure.

Because Warm Biscuit has so many beautiful things for children for this week's prize I've got a gift certificate worth $50 that you can use to choose for yourself which of their many products you like the best. So thank you to Warm Biscuit and happy shopping--may the luckiest reader win!

Here's how to win:

Before 12 am Monday go to the giveaway entry form on this page and enter your name and email. I will pick one of the names at random, contact the winner via their email and publish the winner's first name and home town in next Tuesday's post. See the bottom of the entry form for more details.

First the awesome aprons and now these lovely delights! I love the name "Warm Biscuit." It just evokes all kinds of homeyness. I'm going to have to quit clicking on your links, lest my checkbook caves in! I just found your site this week and I love it!

I've enjoyed Warm Biscuit for a few years now. It was one of my favorite catalogs to order from when I lived across country from my grandchildren. They learned to look forward to getting packages in the mail.
